I'd been dying to get my hands on this book and I'm so glad I ended up listening because the audio was so so so good! I finished it in less than 48 hours...which basically means I was walking around my house with ear buds in while doing all of the things.
I was immediately drawn into this story. Cambridge was the perfect beautiful yet ominous setting. The protagonist was a bit emotionally unstable therefore possibly unreliable. There were lots of sketchy males lurking about. Every element just added to the unputdownableness of this audio.
In the midst of unending red herrings, I actually guessed one of the biggest reveals. It truly just made me feel completely validated and added to my listening experience. I finished while out on a walk during my lunch break and burst back into my office to inform my co-workers that "I knew it!" (Their reactions were underwhelming to say the least.)
In Michaelides fashion, there was more than one big reveal and I definitely didn't see them all coming.
Definitely recommend. I will say this is not 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘗𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵. I've seen a lot of people comparing the two but this is a very different vibe. Personally, I think I might have liked this better. Maybe. Still undecided.
